Bubbling up

It seemed an unbelievably minor story at the time, but the making-Obama-blacker in the ad thing really seems to have legs. How long before it shows up in Leno and Letterman's monologues? Unlike a lot of shady stuff the Clintons have done, this is a really accessible shady thing. You needn't know anything about politics to realize it's shady to darken a black candidate's skin. You can never predict how these negative sorts of stories develop, but this one seems to be bubbling up.
